It is not unusual for people involved in substance abuse to exhaust all financial resources on their addiction. When it is time to get help in a Death Valley drug rehab program, there may be nothing left to cover the costs of such treatment. If the person is not covered by private health insurance in Death Valley, they will need to self pay in order to obtain treatment services. Self pay implies that the individual will need to come up with the resources to cover the costs of drug treatment, costs which will vary depending on the treatment type which is being considered. If the self pay option is the only way to pay for drug rehabilitation, prospective treatment clients can work with treatment counselors to determine if any payment assistance can be offered in the form of a discounted rate or sliding scale fee. These payment assistance options for self pay clients are usually decided based on each individual's circumstances which can include personal income as well as other potential financial resources.
